Tennessee head coach and director of track and field Duane Ross agreed to a contract extension through 2027-28 on Wednesday.
In one year under Ross, the Vols and Lady Vols totaled 15 school records, 32 All-America honors and 22 Southeastern Conference medals during the indoor and outdoor seasons.
“In just one season, Duane has started building the foundation to restore our track & field program as one of the nation’s truly elite programs,” Tennessee Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Danny White said in a press release. “It was an encouraging sign of progress to see both programs finish in the top five at both SEC championship events for the first time since 2008, and watching our women’s program place in the top-10 nationally at indoors and outdoors for the first time since 2009 was eye-opening.”
